Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Chronic Cellars I discovered in a local restaurant. So I went to their website and ordered their higher end wines and let me tell you this, KAPOW! Winds around $30 that drink every bit as good as a $200 bottle red!!!!!! This one is Chronic Cellars Giant Oak red blend: 75% tennat ( a popular grape in Argentina and Uruguay), 17% petite Sirah, and 8% syrah. If you follow my ratings you know I am a big bold cab guy. When I say this is as good as any cab than I’ve ever had I am serious and it’s only 30 bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No I have not been drinking before drinking. I am drinking both hall Cabernet and this chronic side-by-side as we speak and wow! Yes, I do love the cab a little bit better but not by much that’s the reason giant oak gets a perfect score! The difference is where giant oak has more tartness the Hall Cabernet Howell Mountain has more butter! But for my personal palate and the cost of the wine I pick giant oak. And all of you know what I spend on wine! I bought a case!!!
